I couldn't reach Lumpy. Is that intended? Great audio, though.

@emcannon You have to use the first Lumpy on the platform and dismount midjump over the lava. You should be able to jump up to that first platform without a Lumpy.

A bit glitchy and poorly usable on macs (because of crtl button). Well idea though!

@RomaRogov Thanks!

Very fun game. The sfx made me feel bad for what I did lol.

I won! But at such a cost. :cry:

Really good idea, and well done for having so many levels.

HAH, oh my goodness, what a game. I was confused at first, so the first time I discarded my good friend into the lava I laughed out loud. Great concept. It *is* tough to play on a mac, though.

Fun little game, had some nice ideas by using lumpy to create platforming puzzles. I feel like the game is inspired by mario jumping off Yoshi, because the way you used that mechanic is better than they did by the mario games. The controls weren't tight enough though,the sliding part was a little too much in my opinion. the death animation was also a bit too long to my taste, especially because you couldn't see the character in the lava for 90% of the time. Overall a nice game for 72 hours!

funniest game I've played so far haha, and so many levels! Amazing job!

@DarkAnice Great feedback! Glad you picked up on the Mario/Yoshi influence. Nintendo glossed over that genocide!

@joshua-young Np dude, glad I could be of any help! And remember kill the animals (gdq reference)!

Fun game! I wish it was a little more zoomed in and also the player controls are a bit unresponsive (accelerates very slowly at the start). Are you using AddForce instead of changing the rigidbody's velocity?

The first time I landed in the lava it made me laugh! Quite a few glitches. When I got on Lumpy he would jump by himself and we'd explode, or we would launch into the sky and the game reset. Good concept though!

Great concept, well executed ;)

If you're looking for things to improve, I'd focus on the movement. In particular when I push left or right there's a very noticeable delay before I actually go anywhere, and this can make some otherwise quite simple platforming tasks frustratingly difficult.

The sound effects were great! The last level where you throw Lumpy down a blind pit and his screams let you know there's lava down there is a great bit of level design.

Awesome, great work! :smile: :top:

It would have been nice if the fullscreen mode would have increased the size of the window as I had some problems with seeing parts of the game. I liked the music and sound effects
